TRX Tuesday!

So today is my TRX class and cross training day. I just got off from work after working 11pm to 7:30 am and I have to say I was dragging a little going into class. Thank goodness I have such an amazing bunch of women and 1 equally amazing man in my class (poor guy). Some days I think our trainer is trying to make us barf or kill us! Todays class was a doozy...We always start out with a quick total body warm up then head right into work mode. Our new goal for this session is to increase our number of atomic push-ups weekly. We did a set last week and whatever number we did we had to beat that this week. My number was 28 atomics in 1 minute so this week i did 30! She worked every muscle group in the standing position using the straps and some free weights then we did a cardio burst/ball toss segment then she worked every muscle group with us on the floor!! Lets just say I was super sweaty and shaky after class. Ouch!

I love how TRX has strengthened my core and is a great cross training tool! I started taking class about 3 years ago and definitely feel it does help with targeting muscles I normally wouldn't from just weight lifting alone. And I get to take class with all my best workout buddies...Bonus!
